SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One embodiment of the invention relates to a forward LED cooling & lensdeicing LED light comprising of a body and a heatsink cover coupled tothe body.

Disposed inside of the cover and the body of the LED light is at leastone circuit board, at least one LED, and at least one heat transferdevice located behind the LED, used to quickly move to the heatgenerated by the LED to the heatsink cover, preventing a thermal runawaycondition experienced when High intensity LEDs are operating at fulloutput capacity.

One benefit of the invention is that it allows for remote heatsinking,which involves bringing heat from LEDs directly in touch with theenvironment, thus, it increases the heat transfer surface area to morethan 10-fold.

The embodiment uses a heatsink cover coupled with a heat transfer deviceto distribute the heat generated at the bottom of LED about the muchlarger area of the heatsink cover. The heatsink cover is located in theoutside of its mounting fixtures and in direct contact with theenvironment. The rear housing separates LED heat from circuit boardheat, can be designed to dissipate greater amount of heat by increasingheatsink fin configuration.

One embodiment uses a rear housing which provides additional heatsinkingfor medium and light intensity applications. The back of housing hasfins that are dedicated for the cooling of the driver board and canprovide additional cooling with fins on its side when a high intensityapplication requires them.

The design of the heat pipes are such that they are additional heattransfer devices with circular shaped heat transfer device which is ableto transfer heat away from the LEDs at a very fast rate and distributesuch heat uniformly about a circular heatsink.

Thus, this embodiment uses the heat transfer device for two purposes,first, to remove the heat generated by the LED, and transporting it tothe heatsink cover in front of the light, to melt ice buildup andevaporate moisture normally deposited in the front of the LED lightduring a wet, snowy, or icy day.

The LED driver controls light intensity, and heater to melt or evaporateany snow, ice, or moisture build up in the form of the light.

There is also a multifunctional dual channel LED driver board disposedin the body wherein the device is configured to drive the LEDsindependently, control the intensity of the LED, and monitor the LED'sfunctions and thermal conditions.

There is also at least one temperature sensor disposed in the body ofthe circuit board, wherein the temperature sensor is configured todetermine a temperature of the circuit board which is correlated thetemperature of heatsink cover.

, The heating element is strategically located inside the LED mountingblock which stabilizes temperature signature during sub-zero degreeweather and maintains such temperature until severe weather is no longerpresent.There is also at least one heating element coupled to one end of theheat transfer devise configured to generate additional heat inside thebody of heat transfer device when then capacity of the heat generated bythe LEDs in not enough to remove the snow, and ice deposited in theheatsink cover.

In at least one embodiment, a mounting apparatus that mounts the heattransfer devices and the LEDs in many configuration with passage ways tofor the heat transfer device conduit heat toward the front heatsinkcover.

The is also at least one LED/Mounting tombstone configured to provide amounting platform for the LEDs board, and the heat transfer devises. Thetombstones are further configured to allow many LED mountingconfigurations which depend on the requirements of the LED light.

In addition, the lens design allows for use in combination with facettedor parabolic reflectors and can be prismatic or smooth shape withinternal nano particles that increase the temperature of the lens,taking advantage of the radiative heat generated by the LEDs.

There is also at least one lens configured to protect the inside of thebody of the light. The invention also provides for the lens to bereconfigured with prismatic shapes that will split the light beam inmany directions for the purposes meeting certain light footprintrequirements as required by industry lighting standards. Another featureof this invention is to impregnate nano steel particles into the lensfor the purposes of using the radiated light to heat up the lens and aidin the melting of the ice, snow, and evaporating moisture from the formof the light.

There is also facetted and parabolic reflector can be used to satisfydifferent applications.

There are also within the body of the light, provisions for the usemultiple reflectors. There are at least to types of reflectors: facettedand parabolic. These reflectors provide different light focusingattributes used in a multitude of applications.

There is also at least one power contact coupled to the body of thelight, wherein the power contact is configured to receive power into thebody of the light: For example, power goes into the LED driver.

Power is fed into the two LED Drivers which are configured to regulatethe input power (Voltage and Current) and deliver regulated power toLEDs. next, the LEDs light up, generating high intensity light and largeamount of heat. The heat transfer device immediately moves the heat fromthe LEDs to the to the heatsink cover. The temperature of the board ismonitored by the temperature sensor inside the circuit board. If thetemperature of the board is not about a above zero water the circuitboard will turn “ON” the heater and add addition heat until the anysnow, ice, or moisture is evaporated from the front of the light. Oncethe Temperature senses that the temperature reaches a predeterminedtemperature, the heater will be turn “OFF” by a signal coming fromcircuit board. The board will keep monitoring the temperature andmaintain it at a predetermine value until such time that the severe coldweather conditions get warmer.

The heatsink cover is configured so that it has groves where the heattransfer devices are mounted. The heat transfer device deposits the heatcoming from the LEDs around the circular fins located around itsperimeter. The heat is then dissipated by the heatsink cover fins.

The regulating LED driver board operation is such that when thetemperature is below zero ice, the driver board allows more current toflow into the LEDs for the purposes of generation more heat. The heatfrom the LEDs is moved to the heatsink cover for the purposes of meltingany ice or moisture build up in the heatsink cover. If the sensor sensesthat the temperature in the driver board is below zero, the driver boardincreases the power to the LEDs until such time that the junctiontemperature of the regulator is above zero ice. If the temperature stilldoes not sense a higher temperature higher than zero-ice. In addition,the driver board will allow the solid-state switch to open and sendpower to the heater, until such time that the temperature on the driverboard is higher than zero-ice.

Thus, there is created a smart headlamp which is configured to both actas a light and as a de-icer.

Thus, there is shown a headlight which is powered by a LED light whereinthe heat from the LED light is transferred to the adjacent heat pipe5107 which then transferred heat to the adjacent heat sink ring tode-ice the headlight.

Because this heat is transferred to the heat sink ring 5108 it is thentransferred onto the lens 5111, the heat sink ring 5108 and the lens arede-iced and kept clear or ice.

Alternatively, if additional heat is needed or if it is not necessary touse the LED lights, a heater ring 5106 is configured to be electricallycoupled to motherboard 5102 such that motherboard 5102 sends power ontoheater ring 5106 to further increase the temperature of the heat sinkring 5108 which then passes heat onto the lens 5111 to melt any amountof ice build up in front the headlight.

Each and every one of the components of each and every one of theembodiments is interchangeable with the other components of the otherembodiments. For example, each of the heat pipes is interchangeable withthe heat pipes of the other embodiments, each of the lenses isinterchangeable with the lenses of the other embodiments, each of themotherboards is interchangeable with the motherboards of the otherembodiments, and each of the tombstone heat sinks is interchangeablewith the tombstone heatsinks of the other embodiments.

FIGS. 86-94 disclose an additional embodiment of the FC Headlight,allows for a lighting control feature to increase or decrease lightintensity, or turn “OFF” any sector of the forward lighting pattern. Thelighting control system individually controls a single LED and/or LEDarrays using multiple LED drivers and/or multiplex system. Theapplication will look to solve a common problem of being limited tostatic light distribution pattern instead of controllable lightintensity pattern whereby the right, left, and center beams are fullycontrollable high intensity, low intensity, and having the ability toturn “OFF” the right side, the left side, or the center section of thelight forward light pattern. During a vehicular emergency of safetycondition, high intensity side illumination is needed to illuminate aside area in order to reduce the risk of human injury such as a carbreakdown, side snow plow vision, and/or higher illumination whendriving around severely curved roads.

The headlight's lighting control system allows independent controls ofthe different arrays, and allows for directional and intensity controlof any light beam sector.

For example, there is a center LED array which allows for an increase inlight intensity to a Hi Beam Level. This also allows for a lower lightintensity to a Lo beam Level. This also allows for a turning the centerof the light “OFF”, when the center is not required, or is blindingoncoming traffic or pedestrian, or workers which maybe be maintaining arail track.

There is also a Left LED Array which allows for an increase lightintensity to a Hi Beam Level, a Lower light intensity to a Lo beam Leveland a Turn Light “OFF”, when the is not required, or is blindingoncoming traffic or pedestrians.

There is also a Right LED Array which allows for an Increase lightintensity to a Hi Beam Level, a Lower light intensity to a Lo beam Leveland Turn Light “OFF”, when the is not required, or is blinding oncomingtraffic or pedestrians.
